* Skip safe to detach check if node API object no longer exists ([#30737](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30737), [@saad-ali](https://github.com/saad-ali))

* kubeadm: Detect kubelet readiness and error out if the kubelet is unhealthy ([#51369](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51369), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

has entered beta and is available by default. You can now [configure startup, liveness, and readiness probes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#configure-probes) for your gRPC app
natively within Kubernetes, without exposing an HTTP endpoint or
using an extra executable.

- Pods will now post their readiness during termination. ([#110417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110417), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network, Node and Testing]

- If the user specifies an invalid timeout in the request URL, the request will be aborted with an HTTP 400.
  - in cases where the client specifies a timeout in the request URL, the overall request deadline is shortened now since the deadline is setup as soon as the request is received by the apiserver.
